The family will head back from the hospital on Wednesday. Shawn’s next MRI will be in June. 

 

 

Shawn Kennedy, known as Baby Shawn by his family, got some very good news on Tuesday.

“There's no change and his tumor is still stable,” said Nicole Vathy, Shawn’s mother.

Doctors thought the little boy from Niagara Falls was going to die soon after his brain cancer diagnosis. But Shawn and his family got a big boost after his most recent MRI at St. Jude Children's Hospital in Tennessee.
